Full coverage without touching agent code
Secure every agent without modifying a single line of code. Register MCP servers and internal tools automatically, then enforce policy on every request through one control point.

Govern what agents actually do
Intent-based access control. Each agent scoped to its task, every call judged, every action owned.
Every action an agent takes looks the same, whether it's routine work or an attack.
C1 governs the call itself, enforcing guardrails on every agent action: control at the point where AI acts.
Runtime control for every agent
Easily manage every tool call
Give every agent only the tools it needs. Assign governed toolsets, review permissions like any other access, and eliminate guesswork with intent-based authorization.
Catch dangerous calls before they run
Stop dangerous commands before they execute by detecting private data access, prompt injection, and exfiltration attempts before damage occurs.
Turn on enforcement with confidence
Roll out AI guardrails without disrupting the business. Test policies in observe mode first, then block, redact, or require approval with confidence.
Audit-ready, down to every agent action
Prove every AI action was governed. Every decision records the agent, tool, policy, owner, and outcome—giving security teams an audit trail they can trust.
95%
of enterprises now run AI agents autonomously
19%
of enterprises adjust access continuously based on policy and context; the rest let it drift until an incident surfaces it
Companies like Instacart, Ramp, Zscaler, and Brex scale AI agents with C1.

How C1 governs agents at runtime
Route the traffic
Point agent tool traffic at the identity-aware gateway. No agent rewrites, no SDK inside your agents.
Scope the access
Each tool is classified on a scale from read-only to dangerous, with your review and override, and each agent gets only what its job needs. Auto-approve the reads, gate what changes or exposes.
Judge every call
Guardrails score each call and enforce your posture: block, hold for approval, or redact. A check that can't run holds the call.
Prove what happened
Every action lands as one audit event naming the agent, the tool, the policy that decided, and the outcome.
